NAME
janus - WebRTC server/gateway
SYNOPSIS
janus [options]
DESCRIPTION
janus is a WebRTC server/gateway developed by Meetecho conceived to be a general purpose
one. As such, it doesn't provide any functionality per se other than implementing the
means to set up a WebRTC media communication with a browser or application, exchanging
JSON messages with it over different transports, and relaying RTP/RTCP and messages
between clients and the server-side application logic they're attached to. Any specific
feature/application is provided by server side plugins, that browsers can then contact via
the server to take advantage of the functionality they provide. Example of such plugins
can be implementations of applications like echo tests, conference bridges, media
recorders, SIP gateways and the like.
The reason for this is simple: we wanted something that would have a small footprint
(hence a C implementation) and that we could only equip with what was really needed (hence
pluggable modules). That is, something that would allow us to deploy either a full-fledged
WebRTC server on the cloud, or a small nettop/box to handle a specific use case.
OPTIONS

-N, --disable-stdout
Disable stdout based logging (default=off)
-L, --log-stdout
Log to stdout, even when the process is daemonized (default=off)
-L, --log-file=path
Log to the specified file (default=stdout only)
-H, --cwd-path=path
Working directory for Janus daemon process (default=/)
-i, --interface=ipaddress
Interface to use (will be the public IP)
-P, --plugins-folder=path
Plugins folder (default=./plugins)
-C, --config=filename

-k, --cert-key=filename
DTLS certificate key
-K, --cert-pwd=text
DTLS certificate key passphrase (if needed)
-S, --stun-server=address:port
STUN server(:port) to use, if needed (e.g., Janus behind NAT, default=none)
-1, --nat-1-1=ips
Comma-separated list of public IPs to put in all host candidates, assuming a 1:1
NAT is in place (e.g., Amazon EC2 instances, default=none)
-2, --keep-private-host
When nat-1-1 is used (e.g., Amazon EC2 instances), don't remove the private host,
but keep both to simulate STUN (default=off)
-E, --ice-enforce-list=list
Comma-separated list of the only interfaces to use for ICE gathering; partial
strings are supported (e.g., eth0 or eno1,wlan0, default=none)
-X, --ice-ignore-list=list
Comma-separated list of interfaces or IP addresses to ignore for ICE gathering;
partial strings are supported (e.g., vmnet8,192.168.0.1,10.0.0.1 or vmnet,192.168.,
default=vmnet)
-6, --ipv6-candidates
Whether to enable IPv6 candidates or not (default=off)
-O, --ipv6-link-local
Whether IPv6 link-local candidates should be gathered as well (default=off)
-l, --libnice-debug

-T, --ice-tcp
Whether to enable ICE-TCP or not (warning: only works with ICE Lite) (default=off)
-Q, --min-nack-queue=number
Minimum size of the NACK queue (in ms) per user for retransmissions, no matter the
RTT
-t, --no-media-timer=number
Time (in s) that should pass with no media (audio or video) being received before
Janus notifies you about this
-W, --slowlink-threshold=number
Number of lost packets (per s) that should trigger a 'slowlink' Janus API event to
users (default=0, feature disabled)
-r, --rtp-port-range=min-max
Port range to use for RTP/RTCP
-B, --twcc-period=number
How often (in ms) to send TWCC feedback back to senders, if negotiated
(default=200ms)
-n, --server-name=name
Public name of this Janus instance (default=MyJanusInstance)
-s, --session-timeout=number
Session timeout value, in seconds (default=60)
-m, --reclaim-session-timeout=number
Reclaim session timeout value, in seconds (default=0)
-d, --debug-level=1-7
Debug/logging level (0=disable debugging, 7=maximum debug level; default=4)
-D, --debug-timestamps
Enable debug/logging timestamps (default=off)
-o, --disable-colors
Disable color in the logging (default=off)
-M, --debug-locks
Enable debugging of locks/mutexes (very verbose! default=off)
-a, --apisecret=randomstring
API secret all requests need to pass in order to be accepted by Janus (useful when
wrapping Janus API requests in a server, none by default)
-A, --token-auth
Enable token-based authentication for all requests (default=off)
-e, --event-handlers
Enable event handlers (default=off)
-w, --no-webrtc-encryption
Disable WebRTC encryption, so no DTLS or SRTP (only for debugging!) (default=off)
EXAMPLES
janus - Launch Janus with all options from configurations files
janus -b -L /tmp/januslog - Launch Janus as a daemon and log to the specified file
janus -6 - Launch Janus with IPv6 support enabled
janus -f - Launch Janus with full-trickle enabled
BUGS
If you think you found a bug or want to contribute a feature, you can issue or a pull
request on https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway/issues.
Anyway, before doing that make sure you read the documentation at
https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/docs/ and that it has not been discussed already at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/meetecho-janus. We only use Github for code
issues, and NOT for configuration or usage issues: use the group for that.
